          A.    On or about June 2, 2000, Lender made a loan in the principal
amount of $31,000,000.00 (the "Loan") to Borrower.

          B.    The Loan is evidenced by a Consolidated and Renewed Promissory
Note dated May 30, 2000, in the original principal amount of the Loan executed
by Borrower to the order of Lender (the "Note"), and is secured by, among other
things, a Consolidated, Amended and Restated Mortgage, Security Agreement,

Miami-Dade County, Florida, on June 2, 2000, in Official Records Book 19137,

          C.    In connection with the Loan, Borrower executed a Replacement

Reserve and Security Agreement") for the benefit of Lender.

                                                                              56

          D.    The Note, the First Mortgage, the Replacement Reserve and
Security Agreement and each other document executed by Borrower and evidencing
or securing the Loan (excluding, however, the Non-Recourse Guaranty Agreement
and the Second Mortgage (as such terms are hereinafter defined)), are referred
to herein, collectively, as the "Loan Documents."

          E.    On or about June 2, 2000, Lender also made an additional advance
of $19,865,733.66 (the "Cambridge Additional Advance") on an existing loan (the
"Original Cambridge Loan") to certain affiliates of Borrower, Sonesta of
Massachusetts, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, and Roger P. Sonnabend, Peter
J. Sonnabend, and Boy A.J. van Riel, trustees of the Charterhouse of Cambridge
Trust, and not individually, under a Declaration of Trust dated December 27,
1963 and recorded at Middlesex South, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Deeds Book
11160, Page 340, as amended by Amendment of Declaration of Trust dated July 8,
1966 and recorded at Middlesex South, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Deeds Book

with the Cambridge Additional Advance, (i) Lender and Cambridge Borrower
consolidated, amended and restated the Original Cambridge Loan and the Cambridge
Additional Advance pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Promissory Note
dated May 30, 2000, in the original principal amount of $41,000,000.00, executed
by Cambridge Borrower to the order of Lender (the "Cambridge Note"), and (ii)
Lender and Cambridge Borrower entered into certain other modifications to the
Original Cambridge Loan pursuant to that certain Mortgage and Loan Modification
Agreement dated as of May 30, 2000 executed by Lender and Cambridge Borrower
(the "First Cambridge Modification Agreement") to, among other things,
cross-default and cross-collateralize the Original Cambridge Loan and the Loan.

          F.    In connection with the Cambridge Additional Advance, and in
order to effectuate the cross collateralization of the Original Cambridge Loan
and the Loan, Lender required Borrower to execute that certain Non-Recourse
Guaranty Agreement dated as of May 30, 2000 (the "Non-Recourse Guaranty
Agreement"), whereby Borrower guaranteed payment and performance of Cambridge
Borrower's obligations under the Original Cambridge Loan, and to secure
Borrower's obligations under such Non-Recourse Guaranty Agreement with a second
Mortgage, Security Agreement, Fixture Filing, Financing Statement and Assignment
of Leases and Rents dated as of May 30, 2000 granted by Borrower for the benefit
of Lender and encumbering the Property (the "Second Mortgage"). The Second
Mortgage was recorded with the Clerk of Miami-Dade County, Florida, on June 2,
2000, in Official Records Book 19137, Page 1312.

          G.    The loan evidenced by the Cambridge Note, as modified by the
First Cambridge Modification Agreement and as modified pursuant to the Mortgage
and Loan Modification Agreement of even date herewith between Cambridge Borrower
and Lender, is referred to herein as the "Cambridge Loan."

interest due thereon, and (ii) the outstanding principal balance existing under
the Cambridge Loan is $39,346,801.84 and there is no accrued and unpaid interest

                                                                              57

          subsection 4.23(f) hereof) of the Property, and Net Cash Flow from the
          Property may be used to fund

                                                                              63

          Operating Expenses of the Cambridge Property. So long as no Event of
          Default has occurred, Mortgagor and Cambridge Borrower may calculate
          Gross Revenues, Operating Expenses, Net Cash Flow and Excess Cash
          Flow, for purposes of this Section 4.23, on a consolidated basis for
          both the Property and the Cambridge Property. Each month during the
          Reduced Payment Period and the Interest Only Payment Period, on or
          before the twentieth (20th) day of the month, Mortgagor shall remit to
          Mortgagee all Net Cash Flow for the prior month from the Property, or
          from the Property and the Cambridge Property on a consolidated basis,
          as applicable, which was not applied in accordance with subsections
          4.23(a)(ii) or (iv) hereof (the "Excess Cash Flow"), if any. All
          Excess Cash Flow so received by Mortgagee shall be retained in an
          account (the "Additional Collateral Account") maintained by Mortgagee
          or an entity designated by Mortgagee to service the Loan ("Servicer"),
          and held as additional Collateral for the Loan. So long as no Event of
          Default has occurred, in months in which Gross Revenue from the
          Property (or from the Property and the Cambridge Property on a
          consolidated basis, as applicable) is insufficient to fund Operating
          Expenses of the Property (or of the Property and the Cambridge
          Property on a consolidated basis, as applicable), Mortgagor may obtain
          a disbursement of funds from the Additional Collateral Account in the
          lesser of (i) the amount necessary to pay the unpaid Operating
          Expenses for the subject month, or (ii) the balance in the Additional
          Collateral Account, less any minimum required balance required by the
          depository bank to be maintained therein, upon submission of a written
          request to Mortgagee or Servicer. So long as no Event of Default has
          occurred, Mortgagor may obtain a disbursement of funds from the
          Additional Collateral Account to make a Deferred Interest Reduction
          Payment to Mortgagee as provided in subsection 4.23(a)(iv), in the
          lesser of (i) the amount requested by Mortgagor to make the Deferred
          Interest Reduction Payment, or (ii) the balance in the Additional
          Collateral Account, less any minimum required balance required by the
          depository bank to be maintained therein, upon submission of a written
          notice to Mortgagee or Servicer.

          (c)   The annual operating statements for the Property described in
          Subsection 4.12 hereof shall indicate the amount of Net Cash Flow for
          each twelve month period from January 1 through December 31 included
          in the Reduced Payment Period and the Interest Only Payment Period,
          and shall certify (i) the application of Net Cash Flow for the
          relevant period to Capital Expenses, subject to Mortgagee's prior
          written approval to the extent that

                                                                              64
<Page>

          such Capital Expenses exceed the Capital Expense Limit; (ii) the
          payment of Net Cash Flow for the relevant period to Mortgagee for
          deposit in the Additional Collateral Account; and/or (iii) that
          Deferred Interest Reduction Payment(s) to Mortgagee have been made in
          the amount of all remaining Net Cash Flow for the relevant period.

          (d)   For purposes of this Section 4.23, "Net Cash Flow" shall mean
          the difference between Gross Revenue and Operating Expenses for the
          applicable period.

          (e)   For purposes of this Section 4.23, "Gross Revenue" shall mean
          all revenue received by or on behalf of Mortgagor from or with respect
          to the Property for the relevant period for which the calculation of
          Gross Revenue is being made, including, but not limited to rents, room
          charges, parking fees, payments from tenants and other occupants of
          any portion of the Property or from the operation of the Property, and
          payments received from insurance on account of business or rental
          interruption and condemnation proceeds from any temporary use or
          occupancy. Gross Revenue shall not include: (i) proceeds from the sale
          or other disposition of any part or all of the Property, or from any
          financing or refinancing of the Property; (ii) proceeds from any
          condemnation of any part or all of the Property (except for temporary
          use or occupancy); (iii) proceeds on account of a casualty to the
          Property (other than payments from insurance on account of business or
          rental interruption); (iv) other insurance proceeds (other than in
          compensation of lost rent or its equivalent); (v) similar items or
          transactions, the proceeds of which under generally accepted
          accounting principles are deemed attributable to capital and are not
          in the nature of rent; and (vi) contributions or loans to Borrower by
          any member or affiliate of Borrower.

          (f)   For purposes of this Section 4.23, "Operating Expenses" shall
          mean all ordinary and necessary operating expenses actually incurred
          by Mortgagor in connection with the operation of the Property and the
          continued existence in good standing of Mortgagor for the relevant
          period for which the calculation of Operating Expenses is being made,
          including but not limited to (i) payments made to Mortgagee for taxes
          and insurance, if any, under the Mortgage, (ii) debt service as
          required by the Note (excluding Deferred Interest Reduction Payments),
          and (iii) actual Capital Expenses of the Property, not in excess of
          the Capital Expense Limit, paid in accordance herewith, but excluding
          (a) any non-cash expenditure, such as depreciation, and (b) any
          payment to a member or affiliate of Mortgagor, including, without
          limitation, payments to a member or affiliate of Mortgagor for
          management of

                                                                              65

          fees paid in accordance with a Management Agreement entered into by
          Mortgagor (if any) and approved by Mortgagee. For purposes of this
          subsection 4.23(f), the fees, and the methods of calculation thereof,
          indicated on the "Corporate Fees and Charges Schedule" delivered by
          Mortgagor to Mortgagee on February 20, 2004 have been pre-approved by

Period with the prior written approval of Lender, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

                                                                              71

Section 6 of this Agreement, Borrower's obligations to make monthly deposits to
the Replacement Reserve Account pursuant to Section 4 of the Replacement Reserve
and Security Agreement, to submit Capital Budgets pursuant to Section 6 of the
Replacement Reserve and Security Agreement, and to submit reports pursuant to
Section 8 of the Replacement Reserve and Security Agreement shall be fully
reinstated.

          6.    REINSTATEMENT. On the first day of any month during the Reduced
Payment Period or the Interest Only Payment Period, provided that no Event of
Default has occurred under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, the
Borrower may effect a "Reinstatement" of the Loan by satisfying the following
conditions:

                (a)  Borrower shall deliver written notice to Lender, not less
than thirty (30) days prior to the Reinstatement, of Borrower's intent to effect
a Reinstatement; and

                (b)  On the date of the Reinstatement, Borrower shall pay all
accrued and unpaid interest on the Note, except any accrued and unpaid interest
which has been added to the principal balance of the Note.

Upon the occurrence of a Reinstatement pursuant to this Section 6:

commencing on the date of the Reinstatement, and on the first day of each month
thereafter through and including June 1, 2010, combined payments of principal
and interest shall be payable, in arrears, in the amount of $251,712.92; and
(ii) the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note, together with all
accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums due thereunder, shall be due and
payable in full on the Original Maturity Date.

                (b)  Borrower's obligations to submit monthly Net Cash Flow
Reports pursuant to Section 4.12 of the First Mortgage shall be terminated.

                (c)  Sections 4.23, 4.24 and 5.11 of the First Mortgage shall
be terminated and of no further effect.

                (d)  Borrower's obligations to make monthly deposits to the
Replacement Reserve Account pursuant to Section 4 of the Replacement Reserve and
Security Agreement, to submit Capital Budgets pursuant to Section 6 of the
Replacement Reserve and Security Agreement, and to submit reports pursuant to
Section 8 of the Replacement Reserve and Security Agreement shall be fully
reinstated.

                                                                              73
<Page>

          10.   GRANT OF LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST.

                (a)  Borrower hereby acknowledges and confirms that the First
Mortgage,  as modified hereby, constitutes a first priority security conveyance
of and first lien on the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions set
forth therein. Borrower hereby acknowledges and confirms that the Second
Mortgage, as modified hereby, constitutes a second priority security conveyance
of and second lien on the Property, subject only to the First Mortgage and to
the Permitted Exceptions set forth in the Second Mortgage.

                (b)  In consideration of Lender's willingness to enter into this
Agreement and (i) with respect to the First Mortgage, as security for Borrower's
obligations under the Note and the other Loan Documents (as such terms are
defined in the First Mortgage, as modified hereby), and (ii) with respect to the
Second Mortgage, as security for Borrower's obligations under the Non-Recourse
Guaranty Agreement (as defined in the Second Mortgage, as modified hereby),
Borrower hereby (A) grants, bargains, sells, conveys, mortgages, and warrants
unto Lender the entire right, title, interest and estate of Borrower in and to
the Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired; TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the
same, together with all and singular the rights, hereditaments, and
appurtenances in anywise appertaining or belonging thereto, unto Lender and
Lender's successors, substitutes and assigns forever, and (B) grants to Lender a
security interest in the Property, Chattels and Intangible Personalty (as
defined in the First Mortgage and Second Mortgage, each as modified hereby),
each on the terms and conditions set forth in the First Mortgage and Second
Mortgage, as modified hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, recovery under the Second Mortgage continues to be limited to
$20,000,000.00.

          11.   ENDORSEMENT TO LENDER'S TITLE INSURANCE POLICY. Upon closing of
the loan restructure transaction described in this Agreement, Borrower shall
deliver to Lender, at Borrower's sole expense, an endorsement to Lender's title
insurance policy or a new title insurance policy, satisfactory in form and
substance to Lender, issued by a title insurance company approved by Lender, in
an amount not less than the amount of the Loan, insuring Lender (a) that the
First Mortgage as modified by this Agreement is a valid first and prior lien on
the Property, subject only to such exceptions to and conditions of title as
Lender may approve, and containing such additional endorsements as Lender may
require; and (b) that the Second Mortgage as modified by this Agreement is a
valid second lien on the Property, subject only to the First Mortgage and such
exceptions to and conditions of title as Lender may approve, and containing such
additional endorsements as Lender may require.

          12.   OPINION OF BORROWER'S COUNSEL. Upon closing of the loan
restructure transaction described in this Agreement, Borrower shall deliver to
Lender a legal opinion of independent counsel to Borrower, in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender, opining that the Loan as restructured is not usurious
under any applicable law, that the loan restructure transaction and the
execution and delivery of all documents in connection therewith have been duly
authorized by all necessary parties (other than Lender), and that all such
documents are binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and
addressing such other matters as Lender may reasonably require.

                                                                              74
<Page>

          13.   PAYMENT OF COSTS AND EXPENSES. Borrower shall pay all costs and
expenses incurred by Lender in connection with this Agreement and in connection
with the restructure of the Loan, including, without limitation, all reasonable
attorneys' fees, recording fees and title insurance fees (including the fees for
issuance of the endorsement to Lender's title insurance policy or a new title
insurance policy, as applicable) deemed necessary by Lender. Such costs and
expenses shall be paid by Borrower upon closing of the loan restructure
transaction described in this Agreement ("Closing"). Such costs and expenses
shall be considered Operating Expenses of the Property, as defined in subsection
4.23(f) of the First Mortgage, for the period in which they are paid by
Borrower. Failure to pay such costs and expenses upon Closing shall constitute a
default by Borrower under Section 6.3 of the First Mortgage, and continuance of
such failure for a period of thirty (30) days following written notice thereof
from Lender to Borrower shall constitute an Event of Default under the First
Mortgage.

          14.   MISCELLANEOUS.

                (a)  All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall
have the meanings given to them in the First Mortgage.

                (b)  This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and
executed counterparts bearing signatures of Borrower and Lender shall constitute
a fully-executed original of this Agreement.

                (c)  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State
of Florida, without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of laws.

                (d)  The parties hereby agree to execute any and all additional
documents that may reasonably be required in order to evidence, secure or carry
out the agreements and undertakings set forth in this Agreement.

                (e)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.

                (f)  EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT KNOWINGLY, IRREVOCABLY,
VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BASED ON THIS AGREEMENT, OR
ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE NOTE, THE FIRST MORTGAGE, SECOND
MORTGAGE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF
DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO OR
TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR ORIGINAL LOAN DOCUMENT. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL
INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTIONS EVIDENCED BY THIS
AGREEMENT.

                (g)  Borrower shall not deposit funds attributable to the
Property into the Pledged Operating Account unless and until a Notice of
Assignment and Control Agreement concerning such account, in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender, has been executed by Borrower, Lender and the depository
bank at which the account is maintained, and a fully

                                                                              75
<Page>

executed original of such Notice of Assignment and Control Agreement has been
delivered to Lender.

          15.   NOVATION. It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that
this Agreement shall not constitute a novation and shall in no way adversely
affect the lien priority of the First Mortgage or the Second Mortgage. In the
event that this Agreement, or any part hereof, shall be construed by a court of
competent jurisdiction as operating to affect the lien priority of said First
Mortgage or Second Mortgage, or either of them, over the claims which would
otherwise be subordinate thereto, then to the extent so ruled by such court, and
to the extent that third persons acquiring an interest in such property as is
encumbered by the First Mortgage and the Second Mortgage between the time of
execution of the First Mortgage and the Second Mortgage and the execution hereof
are prejudiced thereby, then, at Lender's option, this Agreement, or such
portion hereof as shall be so construed, shall be void and of no force and
effect, and this Agreement shall constitute, as to that portion, a subordinate
lien on the collateral described herein, incorporating by reference the terms of
the First Mortgage and the Second Mortgage, and which First Mortgage and Second
Mortgage then shall be enforced pursuant to the terms therein contained,
independent of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, the parties hereto, as between themselves, shall be bound by all
terms and conditions hereof until all indebtedness owing from the Borrower to
the Lender shall have been paid in full.

          16.   TAXES; INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower shall pay when due any
documentary stamp taxes, intangible personal property taxes or other taxes which
are assessed in connection with the execution, delivery or recordation of this
Agreement (collectively, "Taxes"). Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Lender from any and all such Taxes.

                   [BALANCE OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

                                                                              76
